We boarded the ship in less than 15 minutes!!
This was a beautiful ship..... and the number of passengers was small enough that it didn't seem over-crowded.
Our cabin was wonderful--- refrigerator and a roomy sitting area. We had a private balcony that was a nice place to sit and read while under way. (Oops ... I made a mistake above... this room was on the 10th level, not Deck 9).
